Itinerary description

This is not an official hike, part of it follows a path but lots of it is rock scrambling with some difficult parts. It's not easy to find your path, not falling on your face, getting wet or dying. Apart from that is absolutely amazing, you'll see SEVEN waterfalls, a spring shooting water out, great views of Ruapehu, creeks cleaning the rock and overall great fun.

From NZ Frenzy guide book https://nzfrenzynorth.wordpress.com/ruapehus-wowland-g16/ For a better description get the guidebook.
